DIAZ MEA CULPA

This is a follow-up to my email last night. Judge Diaz contacted me early this morning and advised after listening to the audio, Rafael did identify himself. Judge Diaz advises he misunderstood the media AO. Most of his cases do not have media attendance. As such he wishes me to advise he is sorry for the misunderstanding and by copy of this email I am advising Rafael as well.

As I said before photographers with media credentials are permitted to take photographs in our courtrooms. I as well apologize for any misunderstanding on behalf of the 17th.

We’ve ordered the audio for clarification as to exactly what Olmeda said, as Tuter indicated on a follow-up email that he hadn’t heard it. Diaz, for his part, has not yet returned a separate email sent earlier today regarding the misunderstanding …

First Diaz is ordered by the Judicial Qualifications Committee, after being fined and suspended from the bench, to formally apologize to Former Judge Seidman and the Hispanic Bar Asso. Now he apologizes for what he calls was a misunderstanding on his part to a member of the press, prompting Chief Judge Tuter to issue an apology on behalf of the 17th Judicial Circuit.
When does the apologizing stop and the acceptance of responsibility start.
It was no misunderstanding. Diaz knows the reporter.
This was just another display of arrogance on behalf of Judge Diaz.
The Carnival that IS the Broward Judiciary needs a Chief Judge that will institute JUDICIAL ROTATION like is done by every Circuit in the State.
Chief Judge Tuter needs to show some Leadership.

Diaz has been fined and suspended from the bench without pay by the Judicial Qualifications Committee. In my opinion he is unfit to sit as a county judge in Broward or anywhere else. The findings of the JQC in reference to Diaz are a matter of record.
His excuses and explanation to Chief Judge Tuter as a misunderstanding is typical of his insincerity and incompetence to continue as a sitting judge.
Diaz has continued to be an embarrassment for years to all Broward judges who take their positions responsibly.
Broward is known for its poorly performing judges. Diaz ranks right at the top of these.
He does nothing to instill confidence in our system of justice but to mock those who are his superiors both in integrity and intelligence.

If media investigative reporters actually did their jobs these cracked Broward judges would get it sooner or later. The scum sentinel has given these jokers a free pass for years. This chit doesn’t happen anywhere like it does in Broward.
Diaz has been an embarrassment to the bench for years.

Tuter does look foolish here. Too bad. He’s been working hard. But I don’t think anyone could swim the English Channel with the Eiffel Tower chained to its leg. The JQC needs to get things moving here.

So here’s the thing…we all know Diaz is an unreasonable asshole right? We know he makes swift decisions and have long suspected he’s not even listening when we present evidence or argument.
Now we have evidence that he can’t be trusted to even understand when a man IVE SEEN HIM SPEAK WITH BEFORE explains that he is media.
How do we let him stay on the bench? How does the JQC? Why won’t someone do a complaint? Adriana?? Anyone else who has been demeaned by him, clearly intentionally?
He plays these power games where he calls you miss if he does t like you, or he makes a huge stink over your cell phone being VISIBLE (not even using it) but only if he doesn’t like you. He yells at you to stop taking photos when he knows full and well you’re media. He’s a bad dude. Someone do something. Please. I’m too much of a wimp myself…just being totally candid. 🙂

Judging by the way he’s clutching that golden piece of plastic trophy from an unranked law school one would have to assume he will swaddle himself in the robe until it’s stripped away by age or defeat at the polls.

Diaz in addition to being fined 15 grand and suspended without pay from the bench was required by the Judicial Qualifications Committee to make a public apology to Judge Seidman and the Hispanic Bar Asso. to my knowledge.
He’s always been a tool. A real bag of hot air for a talentless punk.

Sleazy Seidman hedged his bets and crapped out. Diaz may be a moron, but Seidman was equally as bad a judge. Two of the worst judges in Broward’s judicial history.
The only bigger pig was Moron Ross. His henchmen fell and then he was done after years of greasing the machine, smudged out by his own moronic actions. His greaseball minions like Sprinkles hit a brick wall and splintered all over the place and Greene ran from Criminal like a scared little girl lookin for her daddy. Daddy Ross was already on the skids.
That’s really saying something considering Broward has had a whole list of the worst judges in the State.

Neither Seidman or Diaz will be remembered as giants. More like morphed midgets. Seidman and Diaz spent more time roaming the halls puffing themselves up, than they ever did on the bench actually working. Seidman got greedy with running his wifey when he felt threatened (two Seidmans on the ballot) they both got stomped by voters. Like most losers (Dummy Destry) he packed up the car and fled Fla. after the gig was up.
Unfortunately SCUZBALL Diaz is still around milking taxpayers for all he can get.
Seidman was no Saint, just a self promoting opportunist looking for a free ride. Diaz is the same. His plan all fell apart after he was tossed out of office by voters. As it stands Dummy Diaz has survived the same fate. He certainly hasn’t improved the Broward Judiciary.

I just don’t get it. Most really most of the Judges in Broward now are really really good people. They work hard. They are much smarter than the predecessors from the cowtown days.. They finally elected a strong person to lead them on the form of Judge Tuter. The aforementioned Judge Tuter is working overtime to modernize the system. He does things for the community first and Judges second. This is a whole new paradigm. Then here we go again. A bad apple has to go and give us a black eye for petty reasons. Really really selfish. All the progress halted in the perception department. The idea that this is acceptable to the hard workers is opposite to reality. If he can’t comport to be a team player it kills us deeply. The question is why would it happen. Secondly will it be punished to send the overdue message to the anachronisms left??

TOOTY IS IN WAY OVER HIS HEAD WITH RESIGNATIONS AND JUDICIAL CORRUPTION BEING MADE PUBLIC. INSTEAD OF FOLLING THE LEAD IN THE REST OF THE STATE AND INSTITUTING JUDICIAL ROTATION, HE IS LOCKED INTO THE SAME OLD PARADIGM OF ALLOWING JUDGES TO RUN THEIR OWN FIEFDOMS WITH DIRE CONSEQUENCES TO THE CIRCUIT. HE DOES THIS TO MAINTAIN HIS POSITION AS CHIEF JUDGE. AS LONG POLITICS REMAIN MORE IMPORTANT THAN THE HEALTH OF THE 17TH CIRCUIT, TOOTY HAS PROVEN HIMSELF TO BE AS INCOMPETENT AS THE OTHERS.
MAKING EXCUSES FOR ERRANT AND CORRUPT BROWARD JUDGES SHOWS HIS TRUE INTEGRITY IS LACKING.
JUST ANOTHER FART IN A WINDSTORM.
TOOTY’S ADMINISTRATION HAS FAILED MISERABLY AND HE HAS SHOWN HE IS UNFIT, UNABLE OR UNWILLING TO CORRECT GLARING IRREGULARITIES WITHIN THE JUDICIARY OF THE 17TH JUDICIAL CIRCUIT.
HE SHOULD MOVE ASIDE TO ALLOW MORE ABLE ADMINISTRATION TO PROCEED IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.

It’s called a convenient lie in an attempt to make it go away. Of course he knew he’s a reporter. He’s well known. Diaz is a county court putz. Tuter is just as guilty for looking the other way. Neither of them are sincere in their excuses. Typical Broward judge stuff.

Unfortunately, none of this is surprising. I know Ross, Weinstein and the rest put assignments for politics but I cannot fathom why Jack didn’t move him on his first day in office. He’s terribly unsuited for his assignment and burnout is only the tip of the iceberg.

Judge Tutor needed to keep Diane Diaz happy. Diane is Bob’s wife. More important she is Brenda Forman’s #2. Tutor knew that Forman couldnt run that office but Diane could. It was important to have a friend of the judiciary taking care of matters at the Clerk’s office. That is why Judge Diaz will work whenever and wherever he wants.

Even if there’s a finding that Bob fibbed and I’m not saying that has occurred at all, it’s unlikely the Jqc will care. There’s a track record there that’s bad for Florida all will agree. The thing is voters will care if the issue is properly framed by a clever candidate and the likelihood of a clever candidate appearing in Broward is zero. Just look at the quality of the bench now for crying out loud.

Keep any eye on not only Arlene Backman but Terri Ann Miller. One or both, most likely Miller, are playing possum and planning to retire. Their plan is to sneak a crony in under the radar to replace them at the last minute

Smart move by these ladies if true. Everyone is distracted by Usan, the Diaz mess and the obvious weaknesses of Izquierdo, no is keeping an eye on the older judges on the cusp or at full retirment. Neither Backman or Miller are even trying to raise money.

That little toad showed what he was made of last time he was going to run for judge when Daddyback was running around collecting checks for the dweeb. He dropped out like he’d been hit with turpentine on a cat’s ass.
He’s so small they’d have to furnish him with a high chair.
Nope. One Daddyback hose was enough for voters. Ain’t gonna happen again. The kid is as dumb as they come.
Where’s Arlene been anyway ? Does she even come into work anymore?

Tooty is a paper tiger that has enough problems getting out of bed in the morning. If he can’t bring a little punk like Diaz to heel, he’s about as much use as Woosey Suzie having to bring her dog to work with her.
As Chief Judge you’d think he could do more than just offer an apology on behalf of the 17th because a whimp like Diaz doesn’t want his picture taken.
Such high hopes for Tooty. Such a big disappointment.
It’s something in the water these worthless Broward judges are drinking.

Wait.
Am I the only who noticed the inconsistency? First email from tuter says Diaz didn’t know Raphael was media, and had he known he was media, there would be no problem.
Second email, Diaz misunderstood the AO—doesn’t have much experience w media in his courtroom.

So…was he lying in the first email or the second? Or both?

I know. Both.
For lawyers, these guys are shit at covering their tracks.

Hahahah idiot. I can imagine him dealing w an attorney or defendant in his court room who just made the same inconsistent statements.
He would be an absolute dick, talking over them, trying to embarrass them.
Can’t you see it?? He’d rip them apart!

What can Howie do? He’s done taking a stand for anything. Besides, Diaz and Lit’l Howie are tight as thieves in a one room apartment. Lit’l Howie has become one of them despite the way he likes to portray himself as the warrior that never was.

This was so blatant. Jaab called it out. What have they been shutting down and out when Jaab wasn’t there to blow the whistle. It is the small things in life which count; it is the inconsequential leak which empties the biggest reservoir. So said Charles Comiskey

Word is if Maria Weekes a/k/a Mariya Russian doesn’t file her papers with her real name a complaint and an injunction will be filed throwing her off the ballot just like Mardi aka levy Cohen. A vote for Mariya Weekes is a vote for Vladimir Putin.
